Can I make server only allowed 3 players

[JoeNuts]

I am new server owner and I made my server for me and my 2 friends. A random joined and stole our diamonds. Is there a way to limi the amount of players allowed in the server to 3?

You could limit the amount of players but in my opinion the best way is to turn the whitelist on (/whitelist on) and add only yourself and your friends to the whitelist (/whitelist add NAME) so that only the people that are in the whitelist will be able to join, so there's no risk that you are on but two other people can still join

I can help you with that! I made a script that does exactly that! Use /playerslots <number> to set the player slots!

1. command /playerslot <number>:
2.   permission: op
3.   aliases: slot, ps
4.   trigger:
5.     set {server::playerslots} to arg-1
6.     play sound "entity.player.levelup" to player
7.     message "&f "
8.     message "&3Set the current player slots to &b%{server::playerslots}%&3!"
9.     message "&f "
10.  
11. on join:
12.   if number of online players is more than {server::playerslots}:
13.     console command "/kick %player% This server is full!"

the whitelist method is better as I explained it above and you should replace the `on join` with "on connect" because otherwise it's going to send the join and quit messages.

Also, instead of using 

 console command "/kick %player% This server is full!"

you should use

kick player due to "This server is full!"

Okay. Thanks for the help!
